The seats were a little far to the left, but were not obstructed in any real way (there was one scene where we couldn’t quite see what was going on in the one corner, but that’s okay. most of the action was out front.
We opted for the matinee performance because, well, hell, it was much easier to get into the city early and to get home at a reasonable hour. Or so we thought. Our train in had delays. Our transfer train into Penn Station had an overflowing toilet! It was pretty stressful. It was also crazy hot.
